    摘要: A tunnel magnetic resistive element forming a magnetic memory cell includes a fixed magnetic layer having a fixed magnetic field of a fixed direction, a free magnetic layer magnetized by an applied magnetic field, and a tunnel barrier that is an insulator film provided between the fixed and free magnetic layers in a tunnel junction region. In the free magnetic layer, a region corresponding to an easy axis region having characteristics desirable as a memory cell is used as the tunnel junction region. A hard axis region having characteristics undesirable as a memory cell is not used as a portion of the tunnel magnetic resistive element.

    摘要: An MTJ memory cell is independently provided with a write word line and a read word line used for data write and data read. By separately arranging read word lines every two regions formed by dividing a memory array in the column direction, it is possible to reduce signal propagation delays of the read word lines and accelerate the data read operation. Activation of each read word line is controlled by a write word line in accordance with a row selection result in a hierarchical manner. A word-line-current control circuit forms and cuts off the current path of a write word line correspondingly to data write and data read.

    摘要: A data output drive transistor is rendered conductive when the potential of an internal node attains an H level, whereby an output node is discharged to the level of ground potential. When the drive transistor is turned on, the output node is discharged to the level of ground potential at high speed. This drive transistor is turned on for a predetermined time period when output of a high level data is completed, whereby the output node is discharged to the level of the ground potential for a predetermined time period. As a result, the potential of the output node is lowered from a high level to an intermediate level, so that the amplitude of a subsequent output signal is reduced. An output circuit that can effectively prevent generation of ringing with no increase in the access time is provided. A countermeasure is provided to suppress a ringing at output node which drives the output node at high speed when the output node potential attains a potential at which no ringing is caused. A stable output signal is provided at high speed.
